Grandma & Grandpa Mount's Anniversary

Grandma and Grandpa Mount invited the whole family up to Cheney to celebrate their Anniversary and birthdays this weekend. They took everyone to Silverwood on Friday.

Holy Cow! Can you believe that? I'm not sure how much fun they had at the park, but all of the kids had a blast!

The kids wanted to start the day off with a bang, so they chose Temors as the first ride of the morning. Hudson was tall enough to join them and was super excited to try out a BIG roller coaster.

Here are the kids before the ride...

And during :)

Hudson ended up deciding that Temors was a little too BIG of a ride for him and said it made his face go like this...

We then headed over to the kiddie section of the park to get his confidence level back up.

Dumbo, trains, flying airplanes, and log rides here we come.

Kase and Kaden throwing up some gangster signs.

The second part of the day was spent at the water park, which the kids loved.

Their favorite thing this year was the wave pool...

and the huge family style tube slides.

On Saturday Grandma and Grandpa Mount got everyone together for family pictures and then spoiled us to a fancy catered lunch.

The best part of the weekend for Dan and I was hanging out with family, some of which we haven't seen since our early married years. Good times.

Thanks for the great weekend Grandma and Grandpa Mount and Happy Anniversary!

Cooling Dad off after work

Dan had a little surprise awaiting him in the backyard when he came home from work today.

The kids mission: "Super Soak the Dad"

Dan was taken down pretty easy by our 4 year old. It may have had something to do with it being close to 100 degrees today, but then again Hudson has be working out :)

Mission Accomplished!

Rose weekend

All of my sisters and brother were here for the weekend so we turned it into a little mini family reunion of sorts. We went ice blocking, had burgers and shakes for lunch at the Bombers stand, swam in Aunt Kathy's pool, had a BBQ at mom and dad's for dinner, then games and movies for the rest of the night. (Plus a cousins sleepover on the trampoline, with an outdoor movie last night) Glad everyone could make it, Dan and I and our kids had a ton of fun.

Happy birthday to me.

When I woke up this morning I didn't so much feel another year older as I did another year more pregnant. This baby is taking over my body and TUMS are my new best friend. I feel way to old to be doing this. I definitely notice a huge difference from having kids in my twenties to having kids in my mid thirties. Holy cow, what an adventure.

Most of this last week I've been on a little bed rest recovering from a minor surgery I had done. A surgery I'll not go into other than saying, It's been a real "pain in the butt" If you catch my drift :) Ugh.

But today is my birthday, I have family in town and I'm ready to celebrate!

Plans for today include... movie with my girls, pedicures, lunch date, and a dinner date night with the rest of my fam. Should be fun!

The 4th

Dan got all of his business and work stuff done by 11am and was able to spend the rest of the 4th with the family today. It was AWESOME!

We tie died t-shirts in red, white, and blue for the 4th.

Here are everyones creations.

We took the kids swimming at the Armitage's house for a while to cool off in the afternoon.

Then it was off to grandma and grandpa Ostler's for dinner and fireworks.

We had a great day of celebrating with the fam!

Raspberries Round 2

Our second batch of raspberries were picked today and turned into raspberry jam.

I have a feeling we're going to need more. We'll see how long this lasts :)
